Abstract: A system for allowing multiple addressing modes while maximizing a number of available opcodes and addressable registers. The system has a processor architecture scheme which allows for encoding of multiple addressing modes through use of virtual register addresses. The system has an instruction set having a plurality of instructions. Each instruction has a plurality of bits wherein none of the plurality of bits in each of the plurality of instructions are dedicated bits for implementing different addressing modes. Each of the plurality of instructions are able to implement different addressing modes by addressing the virtual register addresses in the processor architecture scheme. Since no bits are required for implementing different addressing modes, the length of the opcode field and the register address field are determined by the number of opcodes and the number of addressable registers the user wishes to implement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a system are described to assign bandwidth in a point-to-multipoint ATM transmission system, comprising a centralised unit or Master Station (MS) and a plurality of peripheral units (PSs), in particular to assign transmission bandwidth on the channel from PSs to MS, by assigning transmission abilitations in defined time slots sending messages called Grants on the channel from MS to PSs. The system comprises means adapted to preallocate a certain portion of the total bandwidth in static way to various PSs on the basis of the information about active connections without considering queue status of the PSs. According to the invention MS comprises additional means able to elaborate instantaneous bandwidth requirement information ("Requests") sent by PSs and able to allow distribution of bandwidth not assigned with previous static technique according to two additional modalities together defined dynamic bandwidth allocation mode and explicitly described in the following:   first additional modality is defined guaranteed dynamical bandwidth and means are structured in a way to generate a rate of assignment of transmission abilitations (Grants) that is prefixed but is real time modifiable according to instantaneous bandwidth requirements notified by each PS, so that a minimum guaranteed bandwidth defined during connection setup phase is always assigned when requested with precise notification. second additional modality is called available dynamic bandwidth and means are structured in a way that allow assignment of bandwidth which is not assigned by the previous techniques by sharing it in equal parts among all the PSs that signal to the MS the need to use the channel from PSs to MS to send traffic.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sensor designed to determine the amount and concentration of analyte in a sample having a volume of less than about 1 μL. The sensor has a working electrode coated with a non-leachable redox mediator. The redox mediator acts as an electron transfer agent between the analyte and the electrode. In addition, a second electron transfer agent, such as an enzyme, can be added to facilitate the electrooxidation or electroreduction of the analyte. The redox mediator is typically a redox compound bound to a polymer. The preferred redox mediators are air-oxidizable. The amount of analyte can be determined by coulometry. One particular coulometric technique includes the measurement of the current between the working electrode and a counter or reference electrode at two or more times. The charge passed by this current to or from the analyte is correlated with the amount of analyte in the sample. Other electrochemical detection methods, such as amperometric, voltammetric, and potentiometric techniques, can also be used. The invention can be used to determine the concentration of a biomolecule, such as glucose or lactate, in a biological fluid, such as blood or serum. An enzyme capable of catalyzing the electrooxidation or electroreduction of the biomolecule is provided as a second electron transfer agent.
